I don't envy folks who braved the weather and attended the UF and UT games today. It was raining in Gainesville, and it's warm up here in Knoxville. I love the energy of attending games, but I hate the heat and humidity.
Today, we've sat inside our comfortable home and watched both games. We also decided to boil some peanuts...a food I could live off of if necessary. They are so good! My dad boils them in a pressure cooker, which takes a lot less time. It took us almost six hours before they were done, but they are delicious. I like to eat them when they're fairly hot, and I have fond memories of my dad and I eating them just after he'd boiled them. They're also good once they've cooled.
In keeping with the tradition of football Saturdays and tailgating, we're grilling some hot dogs tonight, and I made some homemade potato salad. This recipe calls for peas, which is different than what I've made before, but we're always up for trying something new.
Hope you're having a great weekend! Next weekend will be interesting when the Gators play the Vols in Gainesville!
